What Couples Say
We used Chef's catering for our wedding this August. Jillian was easy to work with and very responsive throughout the entire process, from quote to final payment. I adjusted the menu several times, and each time I was met with professionalism and a genuine desire to help. All of the staff were friendly, professional and efficient throughout cocktail hour and dinner. The food was delicious, and our guests also commented on how good it was!
Nicole Casper, Google Review
Amazing, amazing, AMAZING! So many compliments!! Your wait staff was so wonderful! The bartenders were phenomenal!

Rojek & Winslow Family
Incredible tastes and incredible presentation! I could not be happier with the banquet that Chef’s Catering laid out for my son’s rehearsal dinner that I hosted.

Wedding Catering Questions
How much does wedding catering cost?
It depends on your guest count, menu style, service level and bar package. We quote per event, because a wedding reception needs different staffing and timing than a corporate lunch. Call 585-752-2149 or request a quote and we will send personalized pricing within 24 hours.
What wedding packages do you offer?
We offer Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Premium and Classic packages, from multi-course dinners with premium proteins to budget-conscious menus that do not compromise on flavor, plus completely custom menus designed just for you.
What service styles can we choose from?
Plated dinners, family-style, buffets, chef stations and stationed or hand-passed hors d'oeuvres. We also provide full dessert and sweets tables and wedding cakes.
Can you help with rentals, staff and the bar?
Yes. We connect you with trusted vendors for tents, tables, chairs and linens, and we provide servers, bartenders and bar packages.
Do you have a venue?
Yes. Chef's Event Center & Party House in Spencerport seats up to 325 and is about 20 minutes from downtown Rochester. We also cater at venues across the Rochester area.
